Dump valve questions
I am going to start ordering my bag set-up this week. I think I am going to go with the 'E' vavles at suicide doors.
My questions: I am going with 1/2" fill valves. Should I go with 1/2" dump too, or will 3/8 be just as good? Do I need to put anything after the dumps, or do you just leave that side of the valve empty? Do you hook up a small piece of air line or anything?

I would run the 1/2 inch ones if you want it to get down a little faster. Ive got 3/8 and its not that fast I just bought the 1/2" "E" valves from suicide doors but havent put then on yet. I dont have any kind hose or anything on mine.

If you go with the larger valves it will be harder to adjust coming down. When you want to set your drive height it's not easy with big valves to get just a small adjustment...
